    Honestly, I cant think of one thing Rios does better than Canelo.

    A good tough comeback fight for pac tho.

    Mayweather picks Rios apart. Canelo gives Mayweather a fight.

        That about sums it up, amigo. Also, with respect to the last one, Canelo call's that gettin' dome.

        What makes him a heart-throb in your opinion?

        and what's so great about his smile?

          From what I understand this is not a commercial, but instead a short documentary.

            It was nice having one of the few of us who actually understands boxing in here for once. Bye until next time Bringer.

              As for TS, is Canelo a P4P level fighter? No, not yet, but the potential is there.
              Rios? I'd honestly be surprised if he wins a fight after the brutal ass beating Pacquiao is going to give him. The guy has a great chin and motor, but zero defensive skills. Also Trout >>>> Alvarado. Cotto is not shot, faded yes, but he is not shot.

              Faded Cotto >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> anybody Rios has ever fought.

                  Rios beating Alvarado >> Canelo's whole resume.

                  Canelo got rocked by Cotto's cousin and has terrible stamina Rios on the other hand has an iron chin/heart and stamina to keep punching.

                  I can't believe Pac is taking on such a young, hungry lion like Rios coming off of a KO loss. Pac is too much of beast and warrior for his own good. I think he should've taken an easier fight
                  First of it was Cotto's brother who rocked Canelo. Second Canelo is young undefeated and unified champion. While Rios is a good comback fight for a fighter who just got knocked unconscious, Canelo is the better opponent

                    You can spin things any way you want to make Rios sound better than Canelo but he just is not as good as Canelo.Look at the rankings. Canelo is the #1 rated 154 pounder in the world by almost every organization that ranks fighters. Boxrec, Ring,Boxing Scene, anyone else who ranks fighters all have Canelo #1 and Rios at about # 5 or 6. Canelo is a unified world champ of both the WBA and the WBC and Rios is champion of nothing. So Canelo was rocked by a good puncher when he was a teenager, he stayed on his feet and knocked the guy out.Rios has been rocked and knocked down himself.Canelo does not block punches with his face like Rios.Rios just lost his last fight to a #5 or 6 contender and Canelo just beat a very good champion. As far as Trout beating a washed up Cotto, he beat Cotto right after Cotto gave Mayweather his hardest fight so Cotto was not washed up. Cotto would beat the hell out of Rios. But you just go right on kidding yourself that Rios is a better fighter than Canelo. Why do you think Rios was picked for Pacquiao's comeback fight? Pacquiao needs to get back on top with an impressive KO. Rios was picked because he is not that good and unless Pacquiao is ruined Rios is going to make Pacquiao look good.
